Just been listening to Lady T’s First Class Love Rare Tee, previously unreleased recordings and she just had a powerful voice. It was incredible. You could tell she would be a star. Would recommend it for any hard core Lady Tee fans.

Hi all.
Just wondered what Steve Edwards is doing these days. I remember that first show he did on Jazz FM as my favourite ever. I wrote to him to ask for the playlist and he sent me a tape but after Radio 1 I lost track of him.
Is he on an internet station or something..
Ta

Michael Redway has a great, warm, welcoming voice. I first heard him on the fantastic 1973 single “Good Morning.” I’d love to hear more of his ’70s work if it’s accessible.

Hi Praf,
Good to hear from you again.
Yeah , quite a shock to say the least, I still can’t believe it’s true.
Lady T will be sadly missed,a true talent amongst all the dross out there.Too many great tracks to mention, but must say, ‘ Since Day One’ is a particular favourite.
I would also like to thank Robbie for bringing her fantastic music to my attention.
R.I.P Lady T, you were truly best of the best.

Hi all, Just heard Lady T passed away. Just want to offer my condolences to her family and friends. I was shocked to hear the news. All the old skool greats seem to be passing away. RV was the one who introduced me to Lady T with her Portuguese Love. Still a killer track after all these years.

Regards

Praf

I have just learned the sad news of Neil Richardson’s passing, and it prompted me to write. My best recollections of Neil are with the Northern Radio Orchestra in the 1970s. At that time, I was an avid listener to all the BBC house orchestras, but especially the Radio Orchestra and the NRO, although I also well recall the Scottish Radio Orchestra (mainly conducted by Brian Fahey) and the Midland Radio Orchestra (Norrie Paramor). Along with Neil’s NRO (which unusually had french horns in the all-brass and woodwind line-up), I was hooked on the string section of the RO and the Radio Big Band. Of course, the Radio Big Band has continued in its own right, but at that time it and the strings were sections of the RO and had their own Saturday Night show whose theme was written by Neil Richardson. My favourite arranger conductors were Angela Morley, who was with the string section in the mid 1970s, and Alyn Ainsworth, who predominantly was arranger-conductor of the RBB (and did a lot of Deodato-sound-a-like arrangements).

Regretably, Angela Morley passed away last year, too, but the John Wilson CD of a number of her arrangements on the Vocalian label (Soft Lights Sweet Music) recorded with her in about 2001 is essential and beautiful listening.

Alyn Ainsworth unfortunately left us many years ago but there is a lovely clip of him conducting the Northern Dance Orchestra in about 1959 at the same Playhouse Theatre studios in Manchester that subsequently housed the NRO in Neil’s time. That building, now sadly all-but disused, still sits surrounded by houses in the middle of Hulme in Manchester.

In the 1970s I and my friend were very fortunate to be allowed by the producer of the Saturday Night with the Radio Orchestra show to visit the Maida Vale studios on several occasions where the sessions for the show were recorded, and watch sessions being recorded by both the strings section (studio 6) and the RBB (studio 3). Consequently I met both Angela Morley and Alyn Ainsworth on a number of occasions and other conductor-arrangers, too, including Alan Moorhouse, but not, regretably, Neil Richardson.

I have a very large collection of reel-to-reel recordings of music from those Saturday night shows and many other shows besides featuring the Radio Orchestra (strings and Big Band) and the NRO with Neil, all taped from the radio on FM. I also have recordings of the SRO and other sections of the radio orchestra that were used (for example, Alan Moorhouse used to conduct a mixed strings, brass and woodwind section of the radio orchestra for the Charlie Chester show).

After over 30 years untouched I recently found a company to repair my old reel-to-reel tape recorder which I used at the time and, on playing some of the tapes for the first time in all those years, was delighted to find that they sounded as good as they did then, and I am sure that they could be remastered, although that is beyond my resources.

I have not yet listened to all the tapes but those that I have heard so far simply demonstrate the ability of those arrangers and session musicians, many of whom I had the great good fortune to meet. I can recall the names of many of those musicians and some can be found still playing in bands up and down the country.

I thought it was about time that I shared these memories, albeit it is a little self-indulgent, and I only regret it comes with the passing of yet another of those people who have given me such pleasure and who, other than to those of us who care passionately about these things, is like many arranger-conductors largely unsung.

I was extremely sad to read in the Telegraph of the death of Neil Richardson he was a great music Hero of mine over many years, He was without doubt one of the finest arrangers of his generation an absolute master of harmony and counterpoint, I always thought his writing for strings was of exceptional sensitivity and skill right up there with Robert Farnon and Angela Morley in my book.
I am lucky to have a couple of recordings Of the BBC Radio2’ s “String Sound”, recordings of all his collaborations with Richard Rodney Bennett, John Wilson’s first CD which recreated nine of Neil’s magnificent arrangements, and the Ruby Braff album, what a gem that is. One of the problems with hearing Neil’s music was that much of it was in the form of Radio broadcasts with not too many commercial recordings being available. One broadcast that did make it’s way onto CD was “Those Beautiful Ballad Years” were he arranged for a small orchestra much loved songs from the Stephen Foster era and turned them, along with the pure vocal tones of Mike Redway into something fresh and quite magical, as if hearing them for the first, It also demonstrates what a genius he was. I was excited recently to find for the first time 5CD’s of” The Neil Richardson Orchestra and Singers” is now available as a download and they are simply beautiful.
thank you Neil for all the wonderful music you made, which sadly now has disappeared from the airwaves.
